5 Things I was doing 10 years ago:
1. I was 14, so probably wishing I was 16 (michele, i stole your answer)
2. Diving Diving Diving
3. Class President of 9th Grade... go eagles!
4. Writing my name with every cute boys last name... wondering, will I marry him? I was such a day dreamer.
5. Sneaking out to hang out with boys - my parents had this rule: no boys until we were 16, even if it was a big group of people to hang out with. Of course, I thought my life would be over if I missed "that" party... oh, the joy of junior high!

THE TOY SNOB

I have this great cousin, Nicole Bradley. She is so fun and creative. She just started this new blog that I know will a favorite for all mothers! Nicole is a little snobish when it comes to toys, she calls herself the "toy snob". She loves to share her thoughts and opinions on toys with everyone, so she started a new blog:
http://thetoysnob.blogspot.com

At this location, she will review a variety of toys and all things related to child development and play. All you have to do, is e-mail thetoysnob@gmail.com and ask her what toy(s) you are wondering about. Within no time she will have a post on her blog that compares multiple brands of whatever you e-mailed her. I think it is a great idea! And of course with Christmas creeping up on us we are all looking at what to buy our kids!

Check it out! Leave her a comment and let her know what you think.

Congratulations Candice!!!

I am so excited for my sister, Candice! She just announced to our family that she is expecting her first baby! YEAHHHHHH!!!! And of course she announced it the cutest way EVER. We had our family Sunday dinner, and she put these drinks at everyones plates. So when I went and sat down, I saw this fun drink with a picture of her "pregnant" (she stuffed her belly)! She had pink and blue drinks. The pink ones were flavored "Girly Berry", and the blue ones were flavored "Berry Boy Lemonade". She is so creative.
I am so thrilled for her and Adam. They are going to the BEST parents. I can't wait for little Jacks to have a another baby cousin. When my dad blessed the food, he said something relating to their baby being a boy... maybe Heavenly Father was inspiring him???? ha ha.... whatever it is, we can't wait! Love you both, congrats!

BYU cougars - roarrrr!

I can't believe fall is almost over and we have only been able to go to one BYU football game. The games are always one of our favorite fall activities. Scott loves to take Jackson and dress him up in his BYU jersey. He also taught him how to do a courgar roar! It is sooooo cute! It didn't take him long to catch on to the clapping, singing, dancing, and "first down signs". He loved sitting in his own chair, eating way too much cotton candy, and of course... learning all about the love of the game from his papa and daddy!
GO COUGARS!

tRicK-oR-tREaT

Happy Halloween! We have had so much fun celebrating Halloween this year. Its been so fun to watch Jack slowly grasp the basic idea of this holiday. Jack was a pirate this year (thanks Laura!) and was the MOST ADORABLE pirate I have ever seen! Friday we went to our ward party. They had 4 different rooms that each had a different activity for the kids to do - and then as they walked out they would get candy in their bags. We decorated cookies, made a pumpkin mask, played pumpkin bowling, and a bean bag toss through skull face.Halloween night was fun too. We went over to Brad and Jaime's. We ate Taco Bell (one of my favorite fast foods!), passed out candy, and watched Jackson learn to trick-or-treat (the cutest thing ever!). Later that night Scott and I watched Halloween Resurrection. Whats Halloween without a scary movie? But, the movie was pretty lame... I guess most of the scary ones are, right? I think this Halloween was by far one of my favorites. Having a kid that can participate in the fun of it all makes all difference!
